The goal of the project is to create a high power and high quality laser beam using semiconductor tapered laser amplifiers (TPA) and coherent beam super positioning. TPAs have some distinct advantages, such as reliability, energy conversion, electrical efficiency, miniaturization and their suitability to a wide range of wave lengths. In our work we aim to super position the TPA arrays in a coherent scalable way. In this way we can use low-power components that can be easily modify to achieve a tunable high power laser source. Moreover, this system can be up scaled simply at a fixed price per watt.

The project is conducted in calibration with 'CIVAN' company and Bar Ilan University under the supervision and partial financing of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.
